Great Place – Wentworth Woodhouse


Event Details


For once the Giants were dwarfed – War and Peace performed at a special event at Wentworth Woodhouse, a stately home near Rotherham, along with the amazing Man Engine – the largest mechanical puppet ever created in Britain!  He’s over 11 metres tall… a most impressive way of illustrating the history of mining in Cornwall.

It was a hot summer’s day, and a large crowd enjoyed the sunshine, the beautiful surroundings, and various attractions, food and entertainers, including the Giants, before the spectacular Man Engine show.

You can see a short BBC report on the event here:

(Our Giant, War, is just about visible as a flash of red in the background…!)
